CHILTON COUNTY, Ala. (WRBL) - News 3 has learned the passenger killed in Friday's tragic Metro Narcotics Task Force Helicopter crash was a "ride-along" and never should have been on the doomed flight as the agency's CEO confirms only law enforcement members are allowed on board.

Search crews say they found the body of a retired CPD officer at the bottom of Alabama's Coosa River on Saturday. However, recovery teams were not able to remove him from the wreckage of a crashed task force helicopter before calling off efforts for the day.
